Crude oil prices plummeted over 6% on Monday, approaching levels not seen since early October, as investors processed news of targeted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567809/oil-etfs-plunge-premarket-after-israels-strikes-on-iran">Israeli airstrikes in Iran</a>.
U.S. energy stocks followed suit during premarket trading in New York, with sector ETFs posting sharp losses at the start of the week. 
Contracts on West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude, as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), fell over 6% to around $67 per barrel on Monday morning, marking what could be the worst one-day drop since July 2022.
The sell-off followed Israeli airstrikes over the weekend that targeted military facilities in Iran but spared the country's oil infrastructure.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the strikes were "targeted and precise," focusing on Iranian missile production and air defense installations. 
This measured response likely averted a deeper crisis in the oil market, as analysts warned that a broader assault on Iran's energy sector could have risked up to 1.7 million barrels per day (bpd) of Iranian crude exports and led to further regional destabilization. 
U.S. President Joe Biden had cautioned Israel against actions that would directly impact Iran's oil output, warning that such moves could prompt Tehran to retaliate by targeting oil shipping routes in the Middle East.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Analysts Expect Oil Prices To Remain Under Pressure</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts had previously estimated that a sustained 1 million bpd disruption to Iranian oil supply could have pushed Brent prices up by $10–$20 per barrel. 
With no immediate threat to Iran's oil exports, the bank's forecast for Brent reaching the mid-$80s by late 2025 now appears overly optimistic compared to the consensus view.
The restrained nature of Israel's actions has led some analysts to predict that oil prices will remain subdued, especially in light of broader market dynamics. 
Warren Patterson, head of commodity strategy at ING Group, highlighted that Israel's focused response leaves "the door open for de-escalation," which seems to be reflected in Monday&#8217;s price action.
"If we do see some de-escalation, it would allow fundamentals to dictate price direction once again," Patterson explained, adding that a projected market surplus in 2025 &#8220;would mean that oil prices are&nbsp;likely to remain under pressure.&#8221;
Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, indicated that crude prices have now retraced most of the gains made in early October, which were fueled by Chinese economic stimulus and concerns over potential disruptions to Iran's supply. Hansen pointed out that "sluggish demand" and the impending reintroduction of OPEC+ barrels could further weigh on oil prices.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China's Declining Demand, OPEC+ Production Decisions Add To Bearish Sentiment</h3>
On the demand side, Chinese consumption—accounting for roughly 15% of global oil demand—has been trending downward since May 2024
According to Pascal Devaux, an economist at BNP Paribas, this decline is tied not only to China's economic slowdown but also to structural changes within its energy sector. "Around 45% of new car registrations in China are for electric vehicles, either battery-powered or hybrid," Devaux said, underscoring the impact of the country's low-carbon transition on oil demand.
Capital Economics forecasts that if OPEC+ follows through on its plan to unwind voluntary production cuts initiated in October, an increase in oil supply combined with weak demand growth could drive prices lower throughout the remainder of 2024 and into 2025.

Enbridge Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/enb#NYSE">ENB</a>) has unveiled plans for an expansion of the Westcoast Pipeline in British Columbia to address the rising natural gas demand in the province and the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
The Sunrise Expansion Program suggests extending the southern segment of the pipeline, referred to as Transmission-South.
The expansion project will add a 137-kilometer looping pipeline with a 42-inch diameter, significantly boosting the natural gas transportation capacity by 300 million cubic feet per day. The development is intended to ensure a steady supply of natural gas for various uses, including heating homes and businesses, powering hospitals and schools, and generating electricity.
The Westcoast Pipeline, operational for 70 years, has a history dating back to the 1950s when the initial 30-inch diameter pipeline was installed, followed by a 36-inch diameter pipeline in the 1970s. The system is regulated by the Canada Energy Regulator (&quot;CER&quot;) as it is an interprovincial pipeline.
Enbridge submitted its application for the Sunrise Expansion Program to the CER on May 30, 2024. The company anticipates starting construction in 2026, with a projected completion date by the end of 2028.
Westcoast Energy Inc., an Enbridge subsidiary, owns and operates the extensive Westcoast/BC Pipeline system, which spans more than 2,900 kilometers from Fort Nelson and Gordondale near the Alberta border to the Canada-U.S. border and Huntington/Sumas.
To minimize the project&#39;s impacts on local communities, Enbridge will implement a socio-economic management plan, recognizing the presence of indigenous groups in the area. The project will include temporary lodging and parking facilities, requiring approximately 10 acres of land to accommodate up to 120 workers during construction.
Furthermore, the company is committed to prioritizing workplace health and safety training, human rights protection, and human trafficking prevention awareness throughout the project.
The Sunrise Expansion Program reflects Enbridge&#39;s commitment to meeting the growing energy needs, while addressing socio-economic and environmental considerations in the regions it serves.

Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cqp#NYSE">CQP</a>) has witnessed upward earnings estimate revisions for 2024 and 2025 in the past 30 days.
The company&#39;s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 28.8%.
<h3>What&#39;s Favoring the Stock?</h3>
Cheniere Partners holds a strong market position as a leading LNG exporter in the United States. The company&#39;s Sabine Pass LNG terminal, with a production capacity of approximately 30 Mtpa, positions it favorably to capitalize on the growing global demand for LNG. The terminal&#39;s strategic location and connectivity to major pipelines further enhance its competitive advantage.
Cheniere Partners boasts a robust liquidity position, which includes $2.1 billion in total available liquidity as of Mar 31, 2024. This liquidity is composed of $333 million in cash and cash equivalents, $59 million in restricted cash, and substantial available commitments under credit facilities. This strong liquidity enables the partnership to manage its operations smoothly and invest in growth opportunities without facing financial constraints.
Cheniere Partners has a history of providing consistent cash distributions to its unitholders. For the first quarter of 2024, the partnership declared a cash distribution of 81 cents per common unit, reconfirming its 2024 distribution guidance of $3.15-$3.35 per common unit. This stable and predictable income stream is appealing to income-focused investors seeking reliable returns.
The partnership is actively pursuing strategic expansion projects to enhance its production capacity. The SPL Expansion Project, which aims to add approximately 20 million tons per annum of LNG production capacity, demonstrates Cheniere Partners&#39; commitment to growth. The expansion is supported by applications submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Department of Energy for necessary authorizations.
Cheniere Partners continues to exhibit strong operational performance, evidenced by the export of 114 LNG cargoes totaling 418 TBtu in the first quarter of 2024. This represents a 2% increase in cargo and a 4% increase in volume compared to the same period in 2023. The consistent growth in LNG exports underscores the partnership&#39;s operational efficiency and its ability to meet global LNG demand.
The partnership&#39;s commitment to prudent capital allocation is evident from its decision to prepay $150 million in principal amount of its 5.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 with cash on hand. This move not only reduces financial leverage but also demonstrates Cheniere Partners&#39; focus on maintaining a healthy balance sheet and optimizing capital structure.
<h3>Risks</h3>
The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) partnership has been offering lower dividends to its investors, which may not be attractive to those seeking consistent income from their investments.

Investment in stocks after analyzing valuation metrics is considered one of the best practices. When considering valuation metrics, the price-to-earnings ratio has always been the obvious choice. This is because calculations based on earnings are easy and come in handy. However, the price-to-sales ratio is convenient for determining the value of stocks that are incurring losses or in an early development cycle, generating meager or no profit.
<h3>What&#39;s the Price-to-Sales Ratio?</h3>
While a loss-making company with a negative price-to-earnings ratio falls out of investor favor, its price-to-sales can indicate the hidden strength of the business. This underrated ratio is also used to identify a recovery situation or ensure a company&#39;s growth is not overvalued. 
A stock&#39;s price-to-sales ratio reflects how much investors pay for each dollar of revenue generated by a company. 
If the price-to-sales ratio is 1, investors are paying $1 for every $1 of revenues generated by the company. A stock with a price-to-sales below 1 is a good bargain as investors need to pay less than a dollar for a dollar&#39;s worth. &nbsp; 
Thus, a stock with a lower price-to-sales ratio is a more suitable investment than a stock with a high price-to-sales ratio. 
The price-to-sales ratio is often preferred over price-to-earnings, as companies can manipulate their earnings using various accounting measures. However, sales are harder to manipulate and are relatively reliable. 
However, one should keep in mind that a company with a high debt and a low price-to-sales ratio is not an ideal choice. The high debt level will have to be paid off at some point, leading to further share issuance, a rise in market cap, and, ultimately, a higher price-to-sales ratio. 
In any case, the price-to-sales ratio used in isolation cannot do the trick. One should analyze other ratios like Price/Earnings, Price/Book and Debt/Equity before arriving at any investment decision. 
Lakeland Industries (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lake#NASDAQ">LAKE</a>), The ODP Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/odp#NASDAQ">ODP</a>), ProPetro Holding Corp.

Benchmark Reiterates Hold on ProPetro Holding

Guidance
The Company now expects to be on the low end of our prior&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;range for full-year 2024 incurred capital expenditures of&nbsp;$200 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$250 million. Frac fleet effective utilization is expected to be between 14 to 15 fleets during the&nbsp;second quarter&nbsp;2024.
Outlook
Mr. Sledge added, &quot;Looking ahead, we expect demand for our differentiated service quality and next generation equipment to remain strong. We believe the recent transition and investment in our fleet will contribute to industry-leading efficiencies and high customer satisfaction, as evidenced by our recently announced multi-year agreement to advance our partnership with ExxonMobil. Additionally, with our strong balance sheet and steady free cash flow generation, we continue to make excellent progress on our strategic priorities, and we will continue to evaluate opportunities to further enhance financial returns.&quot;
Mr. Sledge concluded, &quot;We are entering the&nbsp;second quarter&nbsp;with exciting momentum with our industrialization strategy, which is designed for the future of our sector and industry. In light of the market pressures that we and our peers face in a slow-to-no-growth environment, continued focus on our execution is paramount. With our strategic initiatives largely in place, we believe ProPetro is well-positioned to provide the reliable completion services, next-generation technologies and competitive costs that customers seek in the consolidating E&amp;P space. As we further industrialize our business, optimize operations, modernize our fleet and remain opportunistic in value-accretive transactions and capital returns, aligned with our disciplined capital allocation framework, we are confident in ProPetro&#39;s ability to deliver increased shareholder value.&quot;
